Altered cyclone-fire interactions are changing ecosystems /Ibanez, Thomas Platt, W. J. Bellingham, P. J. Vieilledent, G. Franklin, J. Martin, P. H. /Menkès, Christophe Perez-Salicrup, D. R. Russell-Smith, J. Keppel, G. Global change is altering interactions between ecological disturbances. We review interactions between tropical cyclones and fires that affect woody biomes in many islands and coastal areas. Cyclone-induced damage to trees can increase fuel loads on the ground and dryness in the understory, which increases the likelihood, intensity, and area of subsequent fires. In forest biomes, cyclone-fire interactions may initiate a grass-fire cycle and establish stable open-canopy biomes. In cyclone-prone regions, frequent cyclone-enhanced fires may generate and main-tain stable open-canopy biomes (e.g., savannas and woodlands). We discuss how global change is transforming fire and cyclone regimes, extensively altering cyclone-fire interactions. These altered cyclone-fire interactions are shifting biomes away from historical states and causing loss of biodiversity. 2022 text https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010086678 fdi:010086678 Ibanez Thomas, Platt W.
